[Part 3]
Seeing that Nelis was about to give chase, Salin stopped her.
"Nelis, come back!"
Nelis reluctantly flew back. Salin said, "I'm afraid we're not far from Dragon Island. We don't have the ability to destroy Dragon Island yet. Let's go, or we'll have to fight."
Salin didn't have time to tangle with the people of Dragon Island. His goal was very simple. He wanted to destroy all the temples left by Myers in the shortest time possible.
Time was tight, because he wasn't the only one with the Blessing Ring. If Agares could get it, so could others. If he wasted time on this, Agares could completely dig out the three temples in Cloud Flow Realm first.
Although the power of faith of the Goddess of Nature was rare, it didn't mean that Agares was helpless.
Salin released a cloud and enveloped everyone around him. Then, he turned around and flew towards the north. The continent was probably thousands of miles away. He could only determine a rough location. His target was Cloud Flow Empire.
Agares left a trap for him, and he couldn't be tricked by him for nothing. He had to clean up the temples in Cloud Flow Realm first. If he ran into Agares again, he wouldn't have any hesitation.
Salin wrapped the people around him and used the Cloud Travel Spell to the extreme. His speed reached a terrifying three hundred miles per hour. At this speed, Salin had to put up a Water Pattern Shield. Otherwise, anything he ran into would hurt the people around him.
After passing dozens of islands, Salin looked back to make sure no one was chasing him. He then found a place to settle down. He took out the Elemental Magic Tower and connected it to Metatlin City.
Salin put the three sets of equipment and some materials he got from the temple into the Dimensional Stone and teleported back to his own temple. He asked his teacher to help analyze and research. He really didn't have time to do this kind of thing when he was on the run.
The Elemental Magic Tower stopped steadily on the small island that was a few hundred meters large. A storm suddenly blew, and huge waves submerged the island in the blink of an eye. Salin and the others didn't mind.
After contacting Metatlin City, Salin contacted Daliang City and spoke directly to Rex.
The situation in Daliang City didn't get more intense. The Vatican had lost too many people and couldn't transfer more troops for the time being. The addition of the Cloud Flow Empire wouldn't increase the income of the Vatican. The Vatican simply continued with the current situation. The Vatican could only get about 30%, and the remaining 60% was taken by Daliang City.
Yun Liuren didn't seem to mind this kind of thing. The slow increase in troops made Great Liang City feel no pressure.
On the other hand, the Scotia Empire that everyone was retreating from was in chaos. There was no hope for the battle in Ceylon City. Emperor Downey once again mobilized the nobles to send more troops, but the local nobles all rejected the emperor's request.
Even the two level nine mercenary groups in the Empire refused the Emperor's order. This made some people excited. The two dukes in Daliang City started to recruit, expanding their forces and issuing more mercencontracts.
This was forbidden by the laws of the Empire. If Donnie hadn't lost Iron Wall City, he would've immediately sent troops to attack. Now that the mercenaries in the Empire refused to listen to his orders, it was as if Downey had lost an arm.
Salin and Rex discussed for a while and realized that the war in Great Liang City had expanded too much. Although the number of deaths on both sides was not high, and most of them were from the Stone God Clan, there were too many injured soldiers.
The mages and mages on both sides spent most of their energy on healing. Neither side had the strength to fight a large-scale battle.
Both sides seemed to have reached a tacit agreement to not send more troops. The Tanggulas Empire was relatively poor, and most of its wealth was in the hands of the Vatican. The Holy Rock City would have to pay a huge price to recruit the southern nobles. The Tanggulas Empire was relatively poor, and most of its wealth was in the hands of the Vatican.
Knowing that Daliang City was fine, Salin was temporarily relieved. Tilan City was safe, and even Port Royal was fine. This was the first time Salin had experienced such a peaceful period since the founding of the Empire.
The only problem was that the Ironblood Duke was expanding his territory. He expanded Lianyun City several times in size, and then started to attack the nearby cities. Qin Yin's northern army had withdrawn to a few large cities, and the Ironblood Duke didn't touch them. He only attacked the city that Lianyun City used to belong to, and then rebuilt it.
It was as if he wanted to build a duchy here, and no further expansion could be seen.
Salin judged that the Ironblood Duke didn't have the power to take down Guderian City. Guderian City could receive help from Quaint City at any time, and its army could quickly expand by four or five times. Moreover, after the previous incident, the Kingdom of Metatlin had actually reached a tacit agreement with the army of Guderian City, and had secretly shipped many magic cannons and equipment from Metatlin City to Guderian City.
Guderian City itself had an astonishing amount of food reserves, and there was no need for the Ironblood Duke to attack this city.
Salin unfolded the magic map and measured it with his hand, saying, "Next, we'll go here."
He pointed to a mountain range along the western coast of Yunliu City. There were few ports in the western part of Yunliu City, and the two coastal cities were small ports that couldn't accommodate warships. The western part was mountainous, and the mountain range Salin pointed to wasn't very high, and the terrain was very complicated.
The place Salin pointed to was the furthest from where he was. If Agares returned to the continent and wanted to open the other temples himself, this would definitely be the last one to be found.
Salin knew that he couldn't get all the temples, but Agares was an Assassin and didn't have a powerful Mage with him. Even though he was Level-10, he didn't have enough power to dismantle the temple and move everything away. Agares also didn't have the power to destroy the spatial tunnel the Goddess had set up.
Salin had chosen this temple precisely because he wanted to obtain the complete item inside.
If this temple was prepared for an Assassin, Salin would laugh even harder. He would just dismantle it and let Agares go crazy.
The storm lasted for a long time, and Salin didn't wait for it to end. He let the Elemental Magic Tower take off and fly toward the Yunliu Empire. He chose a height of three thousand meters. Ordinary Mages only flew below one thousand meters, in case they encountered danger.
Salin didn't encounter any obstacles along the way. The red dragon went back to report, and the people behind didn't catch up with Salin and the others.
The sea was vast, and no one knew which direction Salin had chosen. This was only the periphery of Dragon Island, thousands of miles away. They really couldn't catch up with Salin's Elemental Magic Tower.
The flight of the Elemental Magic Tower was relatively safe. After Jason's refinement, the flight method of the Elemental Magic Tower had also been changed. It was now upside down, like a boat, with the tip of the Magic Tower pointing forward. With the sturdiness of Level-18 elemental stones, even if it crashed into a mountain, it would be able to create a huge hole.
Moreover, the flight of the Elemental Magic Tower relied on the magic furnace. Its energy output was extremely stable, and it wouldn't be affected by any environmental factors. They were still ten thousand miles away from the seventh temple, and Salin's flight method exceeded fifty miles per hour. This kind of speed didn't need anyone to control it.
Using this short rest time, Eleanor consulted Salin about magic, mainly about the laws of lightning.
The two of them talked for three days straight, and Eleanor felt that she had learned a lot. Finally, Eleanor asked Salin a question, "Salin, when you ambushed the chief inquisitor, I saw the crystal finger clearly, and I can't learn it. But the speed at which you're advancing … "
Eleanor remembered that battle clearly. The third chief inquisitor had been ambushed and killed by Salin, and Salin had instantly increased his speed by ten times. And Salin's maximum speed was more than three hundred miles per hour. Ten times was more than three thousand miles per hour. That was simply unimaginable. Salin's water elemental armor had been completely melted at that time, which showed how powerful this skill was.
"It's a variant of water elemental magic that combines the laws of earth elemental magic. Eleanor, you can't learn it, unless you also have a water elemental body, "Salin answered Eleanor's question with a smile. He had always been dissatisfied with his water elemental body, but after studying Carrie's earth elemental magic, Salin imitated the movement ability of water elemental magic, and changed the magic incantation, combining it with an advanced water elemental magic.
Thus, Salin obtained an extremely powerful movement skill, Comet Flash.
Although Comet Flash wasn't an original skill, and was merely pieced together, Salin hadn't perfected it yet. Once it was perfected, this skill would definitely surpass Level-12, and there was still room for improvement.
More importantly, this skill combined all the laws that Salin was familiar with, including the laws of lightning. When this skill was completely completed, Salin could wrap himself in thick water elemental armor. His form would probably be similar to that of a water elemental creature, and he himself would be like an elemental core, controlling the huge elemental armor from within.
Apart from the elemental armor, he could also combine more water elemental ice, allowing Salin to fly beyond the range of an ordinary Magician. He could directly fly out of the continent and towards the stars.
According to Salin's calculations, once he completed this spell, he would turn into a comet, flying at a speed that no living creature could reach. His body would also be so hard that it would be able to break through any energy shield if he crashed into it.
The flight method of this skill borrowed the power of the stars, and not the narrow sense of the earth elemental energy. Even in the vacuum of space far from the continent, Salin could still borrow the gravity of the stars to fly. At that time, Salin wouldn't need more than an hour to travel to any place on the continent.
This wasn't just a movement spell. If Salin let his magic image use Comet Flash, he could directly attack with it. The speed of Comet Flash could directly destroy a small city if it hit the ground.
The Magician who had created the earth elemental magic of flight was an absolute genius, and Salin had stood on the shoulders of this genius to create an even stranger and more powerful spell.
Seeing that Eleanor was a little disappointed, Salin smiled and said, "However, I can teach you Carrie's movement skill. I only have one request."
"Speak!" Eleanor said happily.
